The crown, (Mr. Michaud), will call the alleged victim, Andrew Spencer, first.

by Catherine Harrop via twitter 5/4/2016 1:52:02 PM
Andrew Spencer:Says he 'busks' for a living. He lives in town.

by Catherine Harrop via twitter 5/4/2016 1:53:26 PM
Andrew Spencer:On July 3rd , 2 years ago I was on my way to busk, and ran into Charles Leblanc on King St. and Carleton.

by Catherine Harrop via twitter 5/4/2016 1:54:08 PM
Andrew Spencer:Around 1 or 2 in the afternoon. It was sunny. I confronted him about doing an interview with a child when parents said 'no'.

by Catherine Harrop via twitter 5/4/2016 1:56:04 PM
I told him ""even Fox News doesn't stoop that low" , that's not journalism! You've damaged your integrity. He (Leblanc) reacted violently.

by Catherine Harrop via twitter 5/4/2016 1:56:58 PM
Spencer testifies that Leblanc said ""hit me, hit me, you're on drugs! where are the cops when you need them?"

by Catherine Harrop via twitter 5/4/2016 1:57:51 PM
He cocked his fist and cracked me in the jaw. I went to lodge a complaint at the police hq.

by Catherine Harrop via twitter 5/4/2016 1:58:19 PM
I told him it was wrong for him to do that against the parent's wishes, and told him he just had to stop because it was wrong.

by Catherine Harrop via twitter 5/4/2016 1:59:16 PM
I wasn't yelling at him. I wasn't happy, but I wasn't yelling at him.
Spencer says there was another man right next to the whole thing.

by Catherine Harrop via twitter 5/4/2016 1:59:56 PM
Spencer says Leblanc started jump around, and with spit flying, and kept saying I was on drugs, and he was screaming like a rabid animal.

by Catherine Harrop via twitter 5/4/2016 2:01:23 PM
Andrew Spencer: says he was waiving his hand in front of his face because Leblanc was spraying spittle as he yelled.

by Catherine Harrop via twitter 5/4/2016 2:02:42 PM
two or three minutes into his rant, I decided to leave. I started to turn, and that's when he nailed me.

by Catherine Harrop via twitter 5/4/2016 2:04:24 PM
He hit me on the side of my jaw. Did you see this coming? No.
The punch knocked him down. Then Spencer says he just walked away.

by Catherine Harrop via twitter 5/4/2016 2:05:37 PM
Spencer: I told police what happened, and wrote what happened. He provided a video statement to Cst. Henderson.

by Catherine Harrop via twitter 5/4/2016 2:07:01 PM
Spencer said he could feel a small welt on the side of his face. He didn't think it necessary to show anyone.

by Catherine Harrop via twitter 5/4/2016 2:07:59 PM
Spencer says he sees Charles Leblanc on the street quite often but they don't have any interaction.

by Catherine Harrop via twitter 5/4/2016 2:08:33 PM
Crown:Did Leblanc address your complaint?
Spencer: I think he said it was a lie, but that's about it.

by Catherine Harrop via twitter 5/4/2016 2:10:03 PM
Spencer says Leblanc kept threatening to hit me, with his fist cocked back.
Crown: How long did it take?
Spencer: 5 min. max.

Spencer says he only saw the part of the video.

by Catherine Harrop via twitter 5/4/2016 2:21:28 PM
Defence: You didn't watch entire video, so you make up you mind about it, and decide it's your mission to go tell him what is wrong.
Yes.

by Catherine Harrop via twitter 5/4/2016 2:22:20 PM
Defence: Questioning Spencer's ability to remember. Spencer agrees was 'waiving his hand' in front of his face, while Mr. Leblanc yells.

You said Charles Leblanc was acting like a 'rabid badger'. But he only hit you once?
Yes.
Spencer say he was spun around by the punch.

by Catherine Harrop via twitter 5/4/2016 2:28:33 PM
When officer asked you how hard you were hit
Spencer: He gave me a scale and I said 7, but I he was trying to give his all.

by Catherine Harrop via twitter 5/4/2016 2:29:55 PM
Spencer: Leblanc had approached me for interviews before.
(He always declined.) He shows up at a bunch of protests, so I would say no.

by Catherine Harrop via twitter 5/4/2016 2:31:21 PM
You actually started that confrontation, correct? Yes. And you know that what Mr. Leblanc did was legal? yes.

by Catherine Harrop via twitter 5/4/2016 2:32:29 PM
When you approached Mr. Leblanc, you said you were angry but you didn't raise your voice? Yes.

3rd person who was there back away a bit? Yes.
After he hit me, he was halfway across the road with his friend.

by Catherine Harrop via twitter 5/4/2016 2:34:20 PM
Did you yell, 'Is that all you got?'
Probably.

by Catherine Harrop via twitter 5/4/2016 2:34:36 PM
Re-direct by crown: You answered that Mr. Leblanc took his sunglasses off.
Spencer: Yes. He was in the middle of his repetitive spiel

Crown calls Constable John Lally. At 4:20 he took the complaint from Andrew Spencer about an assault that had taken place just earlier.

by Catherine Harrop via twitter 5/4/2016 2:42:20 PM
I observed redness on the right side of his jaw. He advised me he had been assaulted by Charles Leblanc. I complete a report in my office.

by Catherine Harrop via twitter 5/4/2016 2:42:55 PM
He later received a written complaint from Spencer.

by Catherine Harrop via twitter 5/4/2016 2:44:02 PM
Cross Exam: Did you notice any injuries on Mr. Spencer?
Lally: No.
Did you know if he had a beard at the time?

Terry Wishart is a community advocate. Crown has called him.

by Catherine Harrop via twitter 5/4/2016 3:03:02 PM
How long have you know Mr. Leblanc?
The best part of 6 years. He is an advocate as well, for people who might not have a voice.

by Catherine Harrop via twitter 5/4/2016 3:03:56 PM
Charles Leblanc is his friend.

by Catherine Harrop via twitter 5/4/2016 3:04:26 PM
Terry Wishart: It was in 2014. (July 3rd.)
Where were you?
I was at the corner of King and Carleton in downtown Fton.

by Catherine Harrop via twitter 5/4/2016 3:05:46 PM
I was shopping, and came across Mr. Leblanc.
He crossed to where I was and struck up conversation about my running in the provincial electio

by Catherine Harrop via twitter 5/4/2016 3:06:45 PM
Wishart: Didn't know Andrew Spencer.

by Catherine Harrop via twitter 5/4/2016 3:07:31 PM
Wishart: Mr. Spencer was "yelling at Mr. Leblanc across the street." As I recall he was yelling at him about a video he took.

by Catherine Harrop via twitter 5/4/2016 3:08:31 PM
Wishart: Charles Leblanc was puzzled about what Mr. Spencer was talking about.

by Catherine Harrop via twitter 5/4/2016 3:09:39 PM
We were in conversation when all of a sudden these remarks started coming from across the street.

by Catherine Harrop via twitter 5/4/2016 3:10:07 PM
Mr. Spencer crossed the street and continued his accusations. He was accusing Mr. Leblanc of taking video...in my opinion unfounded.

by Catherine Harrop via twitter 5/4/2016 3:10:41 PM
Wishart: Spencer was within a very close proximity to us. about 4 ft. He continued with his accusations.

by Catherine Harrop via twitter 5/4/2016 3:13:05 PM
Mr. Leblanc was taken aback, our conversation was interrupted, and Mr. Leblanc asked Mr. Spence to leave.

by Catherine Harrop via twitter 5/4/2016 3:13:59 PM
He remained and continued to be 'provocative.' Can't recall anything Leblanc said to Spencer. Mr. Spencer made a motion to touch Mr. Leblanc

by Catherine Harrop via twitter 5/4/2016 3:15:30 PM
In my recollection, Mr. Spencer reached for Leblanc's hat.
Crown: Did you mention that?
Wishart: I don't recall.

by Catherine Harrop via twitter 5/4/2016 3:16:45 PM
Breaking for lunch to allow video of Wishart's on camera recounting of incident to be played.

by Catherine Harrop via twitter 5/4/2016 3:17:15 PM
Trial resumes. Terry Wishart is in the stand. http://pbs.twimg.com/media/ChoPqtsWsAER7KI.jpg

by Catherine Harrop via twitter 5/4/2016 5:23:28 PM
The court is about to play the video statement by Wishart to police. http://pbs.twimg.com/media/ChoP7OSWEAA5qoe.jpg

by Catherine Harrop via twitter 5/4/2016 5:24:37 PM
Terry Wishart is seen in a small interview room wearing a jean jacket and a plaid shirt.

by Catherine Harrop via twitter 5/4/2016 5:26:28 PM
It is a voluntary statement to police. The police explain that they will put all things in a package and sent it to the crown.

by Catherine Harrop via twitter 5/4/2016 5:28:48 PM
Wishart asks to record it. Police officer asks him not to record it.

by Catherine Harrop via twitter 5/4/2016 5:30:16 PM
Charles and I met and we were speaking, and I heard this gentleman's voice before I saw him.

by Catherine Harrop via twitter 5/4/2016 5:47:36 PM
He was addressing Charles in a loud voice from across the street. I think it took Charles aback. Spencer was making accusations

by Catherine Harrop via twitter 5/4/2016 5:48:28 PM
That he (Spencer) was making accusations about videoing children. Wishart says he's familiar with Charles blog. He knew the video.

by Catherine Harrop via twitter 5/4/2016 5:49:22 PM
He said there was nothing wrong with the interview, so he couldn't understand where Spencer was coming from.

by Catherine Harrop via twitter 5/4/2016 5:50:17 PM
Wishart says Andrew Spencer got very close to Leblanc making unfounded accusations. Within 4 ft, maybe closer.

by Catherine Harrop via twitter 5/4/2016 5:50:59 PM
Wishart says Spencer reached out towards Leblanc, but he couldn't say if it was to knock off his hat or what.

by Catherine Harrop via twitter 5/4/2016 5:51:47 PM
"It was a provocation on this gentleman's part." says Wishart.

by Catherine Harrop via twitter 5/4/2016 5:52:19 PM
Wishart on the video interview with police says Leblanc warned off Andrew Spencer. But Spencer didn't leave.

by Catherine Harrop via twitter 5/4/2016 5:54:07 PM
Wishart says Leblanc struck Mr. Spencer. Mr. Spencer fell to the ground, then picked up his hat and said, "Is that all you got?"

by Catherine Harrop via twitter 5/4/2016 5:55:09 PM
Wishart says Andrew Spencer was being trying to provoke Charles Leblanc.
Wishart says Charles Leblanc has a photographic memory.

by Catherine Harrop via twitter 5/4/2016 5:56:43 PM
Wishart on cross examination.
You would have had to be yelling across a busy street to be heard, correct?
Yes.

by Catherine Harrop via twitter 5/4/2016 6:06:37 PM
Would you save Mr. Spencer's demeanour was aggressive as he walked across the street?
Yes.
Were you afraid he would hit Mr. Leblanc?

by Catherine Harrop via twitter 5/4/2016 6:08:21 PM
I had reason to believe he may resort to that, yes.

by Catherine Harrop via twitter 5/4/2016 6:10:15 PM
In your mind, Mr. Spencer's voice was making up stuff, false accusations?
Yes.

by Catherine Harrop via twitter 5/4/2016 6:11:03 PM
Mr. Leblanc was being direct with Mr. Spencer to go away.
Mr. Leblanc repeated this multiple times?
Yes.

by Catherine Harrop via twitter 5/4/2016 6:12:07 PM
When Mr. Leblanc struck Spencer, Mr. Spencer still yelling at him.
Were you saying Mr. Spencer reached out close to Mr. Leblanc's face?
Yes

by Catherine Harrop via twitter 5/4/2016 6:13:11 PM
Wishart: Spencer appeared to reach out for Mr. Leblanc's hat. Doesn't know if he touched the cap or not.

by Catherine Harrop via twitter 5/4/2016 6:14:23 PM
Did Mr. Leblanc strike him just after Mr. Spencer reached out for him?
I believe it was, yes.
Did Leblancthrow a second punch? Kick him?
No

by Catherine Harrop via twitter 5/4/2016 6:14:59 PM
Mr. Leblanc was upset and angry, but he left, correct?
Yes.

by Catherine Harrop via twitter 5/4/2016 6:16:08 PM
Several times you mentioned Mr.Spencer was being provocative. Was that based on non-verbal as well as verbal?
Yes. Both.

by Catherine Harrop via twitter 5/4/2016 6:17:30 PM
Spencer had an aggressive stance?
Yes.

by Catherine Harrop via twitter 5/4/2016 6:17:52 PM
You mentioned Charles handed you his glasses. Did he ever tell you why he gave you the glasses? No.
There no plan to hit Mr. Spencer?
No.

by Catherine Harrop via twitter 5/4/2016 6:19:32 PM
The crown rests. Court taking break.

by Catherine Harrop via twitter 5/4/2016 6:20:00 PM
Charles LEBLANC is taking the stand. http://pbs.twimg.com/media/ChogzG0WkAA5JnI.jpg

by Catherine Harrop via twitter 5/4/2016 6:38:21 PM
What happened July 3rd, 2014.
Charles Leblanc: I heard a loud voice, and it was 'the poet.' (Andrew Spencer.)

by Catherine Harrop via twitter 5/4/2016 6:40:46 PM
I was walking down the street and heard the shouting, and he was shouting at some immigrants standing by the Bank of N.S.

by Catherine Harrop via twitter 5/4/2016 6:41:26 PM
I thought, "oh, he's drunk again."
When I was walking toward Wilmot Church, I saw Terry Wishart.

by Catherine Harrop via twitter 5/4/2016 6:42:12 PM
Leblanc: Leblanc crossed the street to talk to Terry Wishart in front of the church.
They chatted for about a minute

by Catherine Harrop via twitter 5/4/2016 6:44:55 PM
Leblanc: I said, 'Oh, he's drunk.' And we kept talking.
"out of nowhere, it caught me off-guard, he stood in front of us, and yells:

by Catherine Harrop via twitter 5/4/2016 6:46:17 PM
He yells, "YOUR a journalist!"
"You shouldn't be filming kids!"
I looked at him and said,' What are you talking about?'

by Catherine Harrop via twitter 5/4/2016 6:46:57 PM
Leblanc says it finally hit him, which video it was. It was an interview with a couple and their child in front of Victory Meat Market.

by Catherine Harrop via twitter 5/4/2016 6:48:51 PM
Leblanc testifies that he said, "Move! Get the f* out of here!" Multiple times. He wouldn't go nowhere.

by Catherine Harrop via twitter 5/4/2016 6:49:47 PM
And then I looked at Terry, and handed him my sunglasses, and told him to hold them. He told Spencer, "Go ahead, take a swing, asshole."

by Catherine Harrop via twitter 5/4/2016 6:51:35 PM
Leblanc: Says Spencer reached for him, he hit him. Leblanc's hat went flying, Spencer fell, then got up and said, "That's all you got?"

by Catherine Harrop via twitter 5/4/2016 6:53:11 PM
When you told him to go, did Mr. Spencer react at all physically?
No.
How was he standing?
Fists clenched. It was a confrontation.

by Catherine Harrop via twitter 5/4/2016 6:54:50 PM
Leblanc says he was attacked by a panhandler a few weeks before. He says he was worried. Leblanc testifies he wouldn't turn his back on him.

by Catherine Harrop via twitter 5/4/2016 6:56:08 PM
You reacted to him putting his hand towards your face?
Yes.
I said, "What the f*, 2 pan handlers in 2 weeks? Where's the cops?"

by Catherine Harrop via twitter 5/4/2016 6:56:56 PM
I picked up my hat, crossed the road with Terry, and I looked back, and I could see this guy screaming and hollering.
That's the whole story

by Catherine Harrop via twitter 5/4/2016 6:57:50 PM
Crown cross-examines: At no time Andrew Spencer hit you?
He touched my hat, with his hand.
That's the ball cap?
Yes.

by Catherine Harrop via twitter 5/4/2016 6:59:36 PM
At the point where you hit Mr. Spencer, the sunglasses had already been given to Mr. Wishart?
Yes.
You are self-described as a blogger?

by Catherine Harrop via twitter 5/4/2016 7:00:28 PM
A couple of weeks earlier, I was filming, when Mike Gaudet attacked me.
But I don't know why I shut off the camera, and took off my glasses.

by Catherine Harrop via twitter 5/4/2016 7:01:30 PM
He took me by such surprise.
At that point you didn't decide to put your camera on?
If I had, we wouldn't be here.

by Catherine Harrop via twitter 5/4/2016 7:01:58 PM
You have filmed 'The Poet' Mr. Spencer before?
Yes.
Could you have just turned around and gone away? Nothing obstructing your movement?

by Catherine Harrop via twitter 5/4/2016 7:03:11 PM
I was attacked weeks earlier. I had to focus on this angry individual in front of me.
- Crown - no further questions, no re-direct.

by Catherine Harrop via twitter 5/4/2016 7:03:50 PM
Defence rests.Judge Julian Dickson is taking a recess to consider his verdict.

by Catherine Harrop via twitter 5/4/2016 7:04:55 PM
Judge Dickson is back.

by Catherine Harrop via twitter 5/4/2016 7:13:26 PM
Defence - closing arguments:
Mr. Spencer down-played his role, that he was calm, and well-mannered.

by Catherine Harrop via twitter 5/4/2016 7:14:58 PM
He confirmed on record, that he saw part of a video of someone he doesn't know that person.

by Catherine Harrop via twitter 5/4/2016 7:15:10 PM
And over a few weeks, he obsesses that the's going to tell Mr. Leblanc that what he did was wrong.

by Catherine Harrop via twitter 5/4/2016 7:15:36 PM
These are not the actions of someone level-headed. Then he confronts two people he doesn't know. He says, 'I'm going to show Mr. Leblanc."

by Catherine Harrop via twitter 5/4/2016 7:16:22 PM
Andrew Spencer tried to make himself out to be 'calm.' Mr Wishart said, to him, Spencer looked mentally ill.

by Catherine Harrop via twitter 5/4/2016 7:17:12 PM
Charles Leblanc took off his glasses, and didn't want to get hit from behind, and says if you're going to hit me, hit me.

by Catherine Harrop via twitter 5/4/2016 7:18:06 PM
Mr. Leblanc was trying to defend himself. Under section 34. Mr. Leblanc had someone aggressive, yelling, in front of him.

by Catherine Harrop via twitter 5/4/2016 7:19:16 PM
When Mr. Spencer thrust his arm towards him, this could be considered an assault, he reacted. (No contact needed for assault charge.)

by Catherine Harrop via twitter 5/4/2016 7:19:52 PM
Constable Lally mentioned it was minimal. Mr. Leblanc didn't pursue him.
Defence council Mathieu Boutet.

by Catherine Harrop via twitter 5/4/2016 7:21:44 PM
For 2 or 3 weeks, he was on a mission to teach somebody a lesson based on a video he didn't even see in its entirety.

by Catherine Harrop via twitter 5/4/2016 7:22:35 PM
Judge: You're argument is that Mr. Spencer applied intentional force towards Mr. Leblanc?
Yes.

by Catherine Harrop via twitter 5/4/2016 7:24:04 PM
Boutet emphasizes it was one punch. There was no follow-up.

by Catherine Harrop via twitter 5/4/2016 7:26:26 PM
Boutet says argues when Leblanc took off his glasses, and invited Spencer to punch him, then Spencer moved towards him.

by Catherine Harrop via twitter 5/4/2016 7:28:11 PM
At the very least, Mr. Wishart said that Mr. Spencer reached for Charles Leblanc's face.

by Catherine Harrop via twitter 5/4/2016 7:31:29 PM
In the entire time, Mr. Leblanc didn't want to turn his back on Mr. Spencer. And he took of his glasses, because he didn't want them broken.

by Catherine Harrop via twitter 5/4/2016 7:32:31 PM
Judge Dickson, questions the force used to knock Spencer to the ground.
Boutet argues it was 'a reaction'. It wasn't thought about.

by Catherine Harrop via twitter 5/4/2016 7:33:47 PM
Boutet argues it was a reasonable reaction.

by Catherine Harrop via twitter 5/4/2016 7:34:01 PM
Mr. Spencer had one goal that day, to get Mr. Leblanc in trouble. And he did it, that's why we're here today.

by Catherine Harrop via twitter 5/4/2016 7:35:08 PM
Crown closing arguments:
We are here because Mr. Leblanc assaulted Mr. Spencer.

by Catherine Harrop via twitter 5/4/2016 7:35:35 PM
Sebastien Michaud, the crown, says at the end of the day, did you believe that Mr. Leblanc really feared for his safety?

by Catherine Harrop via twitter 5/4/2016 7:36:29 PM
Michaud: The facts don't bear that out. Contrary to self-defence, he saw Mr. Spencer coming over.

by Catherine Harrop via twitter 5/4/2016 7:38:10 PM
No indication that Mr. Spencer was on a mission. Mr. Leblanc didn't decide to turn around and go.

by Catherine Harrop via twitter 5/4/2016 7:38:44 PM
Mr. Leblanc testified that 'Mr. Spencer was going nowhere',then took off his glasses. That indicated that he was getting ready for a fight.

by Catherine Harrop via twitter 5/4/2016 7:40:06 PM
Crown Michaud: It was Mr. Leblanc who was enticing Mr. Spencer to fight. Mr. Spencer never thrust his arm at Mr. Leblanc.

by Catherine Harrop via twitter 5/4/2016 7:41:02 PM
Mr. Leblanc was so wired up, upset over video allegations, Mr. Leblanc made up his mind that Mr. Spencer wasn't going to get away with it.

by Catherine Harrop via twitter 5/4/2016 7:43:20 PM
Michaud: There is no self defence. Argues because Spencer was hit on the jaw, that the punch was landed after Spencer turned away.

by Catherine Harrop via twitter 5/4/2016 7:44:24 PM
Mr. Spencer never threatened Mr. Leblanc physically. Mr. Spencer was on his way out, he was walking away when Mr. Leblanc hit him.

by Catherine Harrop via twitter 5/4/2016 7:45:26 PM
Why wouldn't he have pushed him away? At the end of the day there is no self-defence in this case. Mr. Spence was sucker punched.

by Catherine Harrop via twitter 5/4/2016 7:46:19 PM
Crown arguing even if judge believes Leblanc's testimony , can't find it self-defence.

by Catherine Harrop via twitter 5/4/2016 7:47:16 PM
Defence says Spencer testified that he was 'on a mission.'
He also argues there is no evidence of a sucker punch.

by Catherine Harrop via twitter 5/4/2016 7:48:52 PM
Judge is reserving his decision.

by Catherine Harrop via twitter 5/4/2016 7:49:57 PM
June 29 at 1:30 for the decision.

by Catherine Harrop via twitter 5/4/2016 7:50:53 PM
